Spoiler:

He survives to the very end and doesn't really do anything other than stay as a comic relief character. Personally I didn't have too much of a problem with him staying as comic relief because I found him enjoyable on some occasions, what I didn't like about him was how he sometimes was for me unrealistically stupid (biggest example for me was Kirigiri ghost).

Spoiler:

Maybe, but does stupidity really outweigh downright nastiness (like with Hifumi)? At least Hiro is a generally nice guy... when he isn't trying to swindle you.

To be fair..

Spoiler:

With Hifumi he was an idiot who was tricked into cooperating with Celestia and wouldn't have done any harm to anyone if he wasn't manipulated. But it was his free time events for me that stopped him being my least favourite character. Personally for me Ishimaru and Chihiro were the nice guys because even Hagakure attacked Sakura when he freaked out. If anything I don't understand how anyone can like Leon?

"We've both been rejected by this world, we both feel the same threat. Yet here we are destined to kill each other in the end."

See, it's the free time events that made me dislike Hifumi actually. Leon seemed okay - he realized by the end he actually liked baseball and wanted to go back to it. Hifumi, though, he was an elitist ass.

Spoiler:

I didn't find that a negative, myself. Not everyone can be a super genius, and he had some moments.

I'll probably get some flack for this, but I actually liked Byakuya and some of his snide remarks. I especially liked his English VA (I never listened to the JPN VA). The ENG VA sounded so freakin' condescending, I loved it

I have a hard time choosing between Toko and Asahina for my favorite female....Both were great in their own ways.

For favorite male....I think I might go with Byakuya.

As for least favorites:Female: Probably....Celes..? Maybe Sayaka? It's between those two. I want to vote for Sayaka, but Celes got on my nerves way more than Sayaka. So, I'll go with Celes.

Male: The moral compass guy...maybe? It's between him and Leon really.

My favorite DR1 character is easily Sakura Oogami. I'd say she is probably my overall favorite DR1 character. I love her personality, I honestly love both of her voice actresses even if people harp on her English actress a bit, I love her role in the story. She's the character the impacted me the most out of all of them. Even if she's not one of your favorites, almost everyone can agree that she was a really strong character and left one of the biggest impacts in the game.

My least favorite DR1 character is definitely Kiyotaka Ishimaru. He's just really annoying to me, and even his free time events didn't make me care for him all that much.

My favorite DR2 character is Nekomaru Nidai. Honestly, he's my favorite character out of all of the games. Of all of the characters I connected with him the most, for reasons I'll put under a spoiler box, since it's a spoiler for his free time events. But anyway, it really annoys me that a lot of the fanbase treats him like a joke character when he is actually a really well written character, even outside of just his backstory and free time events.

Nidai FTE Spoilers

Spoiler:

Nidai has a heart condition that prevented him from playing in sports like he originally wanted to, because they would put too much strain on his heart and could potentially kill him. But he still had a strong affinity towards helping out others to become stronger, even if he himself had a limit to how far her could go, which is why he became the Ultimate Coach. The thing is, with characters like this usually their character arc would be about them being unable to cope with their condition. But rather than that, Nidai accepted that it was one of his flaws and didn't use it as an excuse, but rather as something to help him grow off of.

I too have a heart condition that sometimes makes it hard to exert too much energy. It would be really easy for me to just give up and succumb to my condition, since it's easy to just give the excuse that I can't really push myself because of my condition. I got made fun of a lot in high school because I was overweight and I did bad in sports, despite the fact that I put more effort into trying to become fit and healthy than anyone else I knew. But I was still able to push forward for myself, even despite my condition, because it wasn't even about what other people thought of me, but rather what I wanted out of myself.

My least favorite character in DR2 is Kazuichi Souda. He's just annoying to me.

^^^You say you hate stupid people but you kind of like the dumbest character in the game? Uhh, okay...

My favourite characters are:

DR1 Female: Kyouko - I just love how practical and intelligent she is.DR1 Male: Kiyotaka - I find his desire to always maintain order relatable.DR2 Female: Ibuki - I love how funny and adorable she is.DR2 Male: Gundam - I have a soft spot for him because he's into both animals and fantasy like I am. Plus I enjoy eccentric characters.

My least favourite characters are:

DR1 Female: ...I don't really dislike any of the girls in this game. (This series has a good female cast.) DR1 Male: Leon - I don't actively dislike him, I just find him unimpressive because of how lazy and big-headed he is.DR2 Female: Hiyoko - A mean, bullying brat who's cruel to animals? No thanks. (Though I admit she can be funny occasionally.)DR2 Male: Teruteru - My most hated character in the entire series. His pervertedness goes too far, it's not funny to me, just gross.

Spoiler:

(I still felt sorry for him at the end of the first trial though.)

By and large though, I think most of the characters in this series are pretty likeable.
